In case you’ve just returned from six months on Mars and are not aware: Russell Wilson is returning to Seattle and Lumen Field — playing his first NFL game for someone other than the Seahawks.

Wilson’s Denver Broncos open the 2022 season Monday night in the most-anticipated Seahawks opening game in...well, ever.

Are you inclined to boo him for how he left Seattle after 10 years, orchestrating his exit in a hand-picked trade in March?

Or are you cheering Wilson for all he did for the Seahawks and the Pacific Northwest, becoming the winningest quarterback in NFL history over the first eight seasons of a career and winning the franchise’s only Super Bowl title?
